And had no idea just how hard it would be. It's not just the mental need for a cigarette, it's also the fact that my body just feels like ****. It's all tingly and stuff, and I'm not sure why.

But hey ho, at least I've quit now, which should save me quite a bit of money, and obviously improve my health.

TL;DR I'm a whiney little *****, but hell it feels good to know that I've quit :)

Aye, keep it up and make sure you put away the money you'd have spent on tobacco. You'll see how much you save!

If you have a smartphone, get the Nicorette app to track your progress. I still check mine when I feel the urge for a cigarette (which btw never goes).

I used to smoke about 9-10/day. My stats currently are:
  • 295 days smoke free
  • 2,698 cigarettes not smoked (24,282 puff equivalent)
  • £809.40 saved (not counting mints) :)
Finally, good luck with it!

Might have to do that, thanks :)

You didn't switch to an e-cig, did you? ;)

Yeah, I wondered why the guy sitting next to me on the bus was getting all agitated...

:p no I went cold turkey :)

For some reason you have inspired me, going to try after current batch of tobacco is used up.:D

Seems like a bad idea imo.

Either you want to quit and you're willing to chuck the cigs/tobacco right now or you're not.

"i'll quit after x or in y amount of time" just seems a cop out to me.



Good luck if you do though.
